A Washington Township woman who was on the Royal Caribbean "Grandeur of the Seas" when fire broke out aboard Monday morning told Channel 6 Action News she may head to Wildwood now that she's back on dry land.

Jennifer Allen and the rest of the passengers on the luxury liner were headed toward the Bahamas when flames erupted.

The ship docked at Freeport, Bahamas and many of the passengers returned to Baltimore Tuesday night.

When the fire was discovered, lifeboats were lowered and passengers donned life vests, but they were not required to leave the ship. No injuries were reported, either.

Allen said the sight of the lifeboats being lowered made her think of the Titanic.

She also said the passengers seemed to agree that the captain and crew handled the crisis professionally.
